Mumbai, Feb 13: Eight months since construction work began, Thane Coastal Road-1 has crossed a major milestone, with over 50% of the foundation work for the elevated viaduct now complete and pier cap and I-girder erection progressing rapidly, as per the MMRDA official statement issued on Friday, February 13. The 13.45 km, six-lane, access-controlled greenfield corridor is being built using cutting-edge engineering. For the first time in India, a greenfield road project is using a single-pile, single-pier system with monopile foundations on land. Project progress update As per the MMRDA, the overall project achieved progress up to January 2026 by 20% within the elevated (viaduct) portion, 50% foundation work has been completed by adopting innovative design and construction techniques. : ! - . % - . https://t.co/a8HDY54PzE MMRDA (@MMRDAOfficial) February 13, 2026 Strategic freight corridor The project is designed as a strategic freight corridor, which will decongest Ghodbunder Road and improve connectivity between NH-160 (MumbaiNashik Highway) and Gaimukh along the Thane Creek coastline, with major stretches on viaducts and bridges to safeguard the sensitive mangrove ecosystem. At Gaimukh, the road will directly connect with the upcoming GaimukhFountain Hotel Tunnel, enabling seamless ThaneBhayander connectivity. Together, these projects will significantly decongest Ghodbunder Road, transform urban mobility in Thane, and strengthen freight movement towards Vadhawan Port, JNPT, South Maharashtra and Karnataka, as per the MMRDA. Need for the new alignment The project starts near Balkum at Kharegaon toll plaza on the MumbaiNashik Highway (old NH-3) and ends at Gaimukh. The road experiences heavy commercial traffic, often leading to traffic congestion and frequent jams. Moreover, the ongoing urbanisation along Ghodbunder Road has substantially increased passenger traffic, further exacerbating the situation. The heavy commercial vehicles like trucks and trailers have led to a decline in the road's level of service, resulting in recurring traffic bottlenecks and congestion. It is therefore proposed to provide a new road (greenfield alignment) along the coastline of the Thane Creek so that the commercial traffic on Ghodbunder Road can be separated. Integration with future infrastructure The corridor will also integrate with key future infrastructure projects including the Thane Ring Metro, Thane Coastal Road-2, the SaketAmane Elevated Corridor, and the KasarvadavaliKharbhav Road. M/s Navayuga Engineering Company Limited has been appointed as the contractor on December 18, 2024, and M/s TEC4 Ingenieros India Private Limited in association with M/s Yooshin Engineering Corporation has been appointed as the Project Management Consultant (PMC).

Karnataka State Cricket Association: Responding to the governments decision to allow IPL and international matches at Bengalurus iconic Chinnaswamy Cricket Stadium, Karnataka Home Minister G. Parameshwara stated that safety is paramount and that security measures will be strengthened fourfold. It can be noted that the Karnataka government on Thursday granted conditional permission to resume cricket matches at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, months after the venue was barred from hosting events following the June 4, 2025, stampede during Royal Challengers Bengalurus (RCB) maiden IPL title celebrations, in which 11 people lost their lives. Speaking to reporters in Bengaluru on Friday, Parameshwara, while answering questions about the guidelines issued to the stadium authorities, said, As far as police security is concerned, we will ensure that fourfold measures are taken. It will be more than what is required this time. We will primarily convey to the authorities to implement the recommendations of the Justice DCunha Committee. We will not insist on any new measures. Safety is of utmost importance. In this background, we will issue directions to the stadium authorities. In the past 50 years, no untoward incident has taken place during cricket matches. The tragedy occurred during the celebrations. Hence, we will examine whether celebrations should be allowed or not, he said. Parameshwara further stated, In principle, we have decided to grant permission. We had earlier conveyed that the recommendations of the retired Justice John Michael DCunha Commission must be implemented. The recommendations are divided into three parts immediate steps, time-bound measures to be taken before the commencement of matches, and infrastructure-related matters that require more time. In this context, we have already issued directions for steps to be initiated before holding matches. I have formed a committee under the chairmanship of the Chairman of the Greater Bengaluru Authority (GBA), which includes the Bengaluru Police Commissioner and officials from all concerned departments such as Fire, Health, PWD and others. They will oversee and ensure that IPL matches are conducted smoothly, he added. Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar has stated that in the interest of youth and the sport of cricket, the government has decided to grant permission to conduct matches at the Chinnaswamy Stadium henceforth. He clarified that the permission is subject to strict conditions, including sale of tickets only up to the approved seating capacity, installation of larger gates to regulate crowd movement, and implementation of safety measures in line with the recommendations of the Justice DCunha Commission, including deployment of ambulances.
